1) For the Jerk paste: Pulse the vinegar, rum, brown sugar, spring onions, garlic, chilli, Pickapeppa or other sauce, ginger, allspice and mixed spice in a food processor to make a slightly chunky sauce.

2) Heat the oil in a medium skillet and cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring, until the oil is absorbed and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Cool.

3) Rub the jerk paste all over the chicken pieces, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hrs.

4) Heat the barbecue to medium-high. Cook the chicken, skin side down, over direct heat and cook for about 35 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes, then serve
